BTS Star Jin's Album Echo Debuts At 3rd Position On Billboard 200
Since returning from military service last year, BTS star Jin has been breaking records with his new solo mini-album, Echo. The South Korean singer quickly grabbed attention by reaching the top spots on the Billboard charts, surpassing artists like Sabrina Carpenter, Kendrick Lamar and Bad Bunny. Although Jin's album didn't surpass Morgan Wallen's song I'm The Problem, which holds the number one position, Echo still had a strong start, selling 34,500 pure copies, around 1,00,000 fewer than Wallen's track, but remains a fan favourite. For comparison, Jin's previous song Happy peaked at number three after its release. According to reports, Jin's new album, which includes 7 tracks, has entered the Billboard 200 at number 3. While the idol couldn't top Wallen's I'm The Problem or SZA's SOS, the biggest debut of 2025, Echo still opened with 43,000 equivalent units, as per Luminate. This number helped the singer beat the previous success of his song Happy, which had reached number 4 in 2024. The song marked Jin's first solo entry into the Billboard 200's top 10, and now Echo has taken things a step further.

Documentary About Blackpink's Lisa in Production
A new documentary on pop superstar Lisa is in the works, Sony Music Vision revealed during the company's inaugural content showcase in Los Angeles on Thursday evening. Produced in partnership with LLOUD CO/RCA Records and Tremolo Productions, the documentary — directed by Sue Kim — follows Lisa for a year in her life as she pursues her solo career away from K-pop supergroup Blackpink. That journey has included the release of her debut album, Alter Ego, which notably landed in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 and debuted at No. 1 on the top album sales chart. She also performed her first solo set at Coachella as well, and starred in season three of The White Lotus. More from The Hollywood Reporter SM Entertainment Artists Celebrate 30 Years With SMTown Live L.A. Bono Weighs in on Trump-Bruce Springsteen Drama: "There's Only One Boss in America" Sean "Diddy" Combs' Assistant of 8 Years Accuses Him of Multiple Sexual Assaults During Testimony Aside from her solo endeavors, Lisa will be heading on tour with Blackpink this summer. However, the documentary promises to 'give fans exclusive access to Lisa with an in-depth look at the artist's groundbreaking career and creative vision outside of the world-renowned group, Blackpink.' 'I really tried to impress upon Lisa how much not just me — but I think the world — wants to see off-stage Lisa,' Kim said during the showcase Thursday after showing select footage of the project to those in the audience. 'She loves to refer to herself as, 'I'm just a normal girl from Thailand.' And when you meet her, she actually is. She's so down to earth. It's quite shocking, and so real and so sincere. But she's very incredibly found herself in this crazy position of being one of the biggest superstars in the world, and even within that world, she's trying to expand out of it.' Kim hails most recently from A24's The Last of the Sea Women, for which she won a New York Women in Film and TV award after it premiered at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival. She additionally executive produced the Apple TV+ docuseries K-Pop Idols. Morgan Neville and Caitrin Rogers for Tremolo Productions, and Sue Kim and Courtney Crockett for Salt Water Productions will serve as producers; Alice Kang and Joojong Joe serve as executive producers for LLOUD CO.; and Peter Edge, John Fleckenstein and Camille Yorrick serve as executive producers for RCA Records. Tom Mackay, Krista Wegener and Abby Davis serve as executive producers for Sony Music Vision. The doc is presented and distributed by Sony Music Vision in partnership with RCA Records. Sony Music Vision's first official showcase, an upfront for the company's upcoming slate, comes as the company has ramped up its content in recent years, as evidenced by recent films like Sly Lives and Luther: Never Too Much. The company showed a teaser for their recently announced Oasis reunion tour concert film Thursday, while Frank Marshall showed footage for his upcoming Barbra Streisand documentary. Baz Luhrmann finished up the showcase talking about his upcoming Elvis concert film, sharing a few minutes of music and footage he's compiled so far. 'I would've thought Elvis would've left my building by now, I've only been on it for seven years,' Luhrmann said, calling back to the 2022 biopic he directed. But his team had uncovered nearly 60 hours of previously lost footage, which helped set the concert film in motion. With the help of technology, Luhrmann said he and his team are looking to 'claw back' some of the sound that was unavailable on the footage they found. 'Elvis Presley in concert, and he will sing and tell his story like never before. He will tell it because what was remarkable is that we found audio of Elvis talking about his life,' Lurhmann said. 'In my mind, it's kind of like you have a dream. Elvis comes, he does a concert, and he sings and tells you his life story.'

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Praises Bad Bunny for ‘Political' Album ‘Debí Tirar Más Fotos'
What does Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez listen to when she's fighting for change or passing legislation on Capitol Hill? A lot of Bad Bunny, as it turns out. In a new interview with Rolling Stone published Friday (May 30), the politician opened up about policy, the Donald Trump administration and, of course, her favorite tunes. 'I have had the Bad Bunny album on repeat,' she told the publication, referencing 2025's four-week Billboard 200 chart-topper Debi Tirar Mas Fotos. More from Billboard YoungBoy Never Broke Again Pardoned by President Trump: 'Thank You to Everyone Who Believed in Me' The Amity Affliction Cover Turnstile's 'Holiday' for 'Like a Version' Mariah Carey Celebrates 20 Years of 'The Emancipation of Mimi': Stream It Now 'As a Puerto Rican, the album is very cathartic, and it's very political,' AOC continued. 'It speaks to a lot of what's happening to us and our people right now.' The New York native added that she loves how the rapper is 'bringing salsa back.' 'Rauw Alejandro is doing that, too,' she noted. 'I'm a big salsa person. It's such a nice outlet. I like it because the lyricism is so dramatic. Everyone's breaking up, everyone's got the love of their life. It's so funny.' AOC's praise of the 'Titi Me Pregunto' artist comes as he's gearing up to tour the globe in support of his new album, traveling around Latin America, Asia, Australia and Europe. He's also been breaking numerous sales records while he's at it, from becoming the first Latin act to ever sell out a stadium concert in Australia to selling all-time high amounts of tickets in France, Italy, Poland, Portugal and Sweden for a Latin artist. Other than his upcoming residency in Puerto Rico, however, Bunny is notably skipping the United States on his tour. When asked for her thoughts, Ocasio-Cortez told RS, 'We just don't have figures like that anymore.' 'I think about the Civil Rights Movement, and I think about people like Harry Belafonte and all of these artists who really did risk everything, risk their careers and their popularity in order to support and take part in people's movements, and to use their art … it's more rare now, or at least it feels that way,' she continued. 'I wasn't around then. The pressures of the industry are to be as broad as possible. When you have someone who does something gutsy like that, first of all, people come through for it, and it's super compelling.' To the representative's point about Bunny being political, the three-time Grammy winner is also active in politics outside of his music. In the 2024 U.S. election, he supported Kamala Harris' campaign for president, boosting her messaging about what was at stake for Puerto Rican voters. Several other Latin stars — including Luis Fonsi, Marc Anthony and Ricky Martin — also expressed support for Harris, though others backed Trump. In September, AOC dissed Nicky Jam and Anuel AA for endorsing the twice-impeached POTUS during a congressional hearing. 'I suppose that puts you and Nicky Jam and Anuel in the same boat,' she told Mark Krikorian, the executive director of the far-right Center for Immigration Studies, after he claimed not to remember Trump saying he wanted to 'sell' Puerto Rico.

Ask Billboard: ‘20 Cigarettes' Is No. 20 on the Hot 100 & Other Chart Coincidences
Submit questions about Billboard charts, as well as general music musings, to . Please include your first and last name, as well as your city, state and country, if outside the United States. More from Billboard Morgan Wallen & Tate McRae's 'What I Want' Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100 The Amity Affliction Cover Turnstile's 'Holiday' for 'Like a Version' Mariah Carey Celebrates 20 Years of 'The Emancipation of Mimi': Stream It Now Or, reach out on Bluesky. Let's open the latest mailbag. Hi Gary, '20 Cigarettes' by Morgan Wallen has debuted at No. 20 on the latest Billboard Hot 100. If that's its high, it will join the list of songs whose titles include the number where they peaked, such as Prince and the New Power Generation's '7' and so many others. I also see that Wallen has a Hot 100 tune titled 'Jack and Jill,' marking the latest chart appearance for the couple. Thanks, Pablo NelsonOakland, Calif. Hi Pablo, Let's start with 'Jack and Jill,' since they have seniority, as they are believed to date, in nursery rhyme form, to the 17th century. As clumsy as they may be, they've managed to roll up the Hot 100 three times via 'Jack and Jill' song titles. Wallen's debuts at No. 60 on the May 31 chart, after Raydio's became a top 10 hit, rising to No. 8, in 1978 and Tommy Roe's reached No. 53 in 1969. Like the latter two songs, Wallen's will go tumbling after its peak, though maybe he won't yet break his crown on the Hot 100. As for fun with song titles and their peaks, along with '20 Cigarettes,' let's look at a dozen more releases below whose titles have synched up to their Billboard chart runs. (Sadly, '9 to 5' doesn't make the cut, as Dolly Parton's classic never worked its way from No. 9 to No. 5 on any chart in a single week. Plus, Taylor Swift's '22' just had to become a bigger hit than its name, rising two more spots to a No. 20 Hot 100 high; neither Albert Hammond's '99 Miles From L.A.' Toto's '99,' Nena's '99 Luftballoons' nor Jay-Z's '99 Problems' peaked, or even ever ranked, at No. 99, with Hammond's skipping directly over it, from No. 100 to No. 98; and Drake's 'Started From the Bottom' debuted at No. 63, or 37 spots from there.) 'One Week,' Barenaked LadiesThe lyrically random rundown spent exactly one week at No. 1 on the Hot 100 dated Oct. 17, 1998. The band was 'big like LeAnn Rimes' that week — even bigger, as her smash 'How Do I Live' simultaneously fell off the chart after a then-record run. 'Fortnight,' Taylor Swift feat. Post MaloneLikewise fittingly, the song claimed two weeks atop the Hot 100, on the charts dated May 4 and 11, 2024. , The BeatlesThe collection includes each of the Beatles' record 20 No. 1s on the Hot 100. It became their most recent Billboard 200 leader in 2000. , Destiny's ChildSimilarly, Destiny's Child's hits package topped the Billboard 200 in 2005. It houses all four of the group's Hot 100 No. 1s. '1-2-3,' Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound MachineIn 1988, the flirty anthem peaked at No. 1 (for one week) on Adult Contemporary — No. 2 on the then-active Hot Crossover 30 — and No. 3 on the Hot 100. 'Just the Two of Us,' Grover Washington, Jr. with Bill WithersThe R&B favorite hit No. 2 on the Hot 100 in 1981. Plus, Seduction's 'Two to Make It Right' peaked at No. 2 in 1990. Songs with 'two' in their names aren't jinxed, though, as two 'two'-titled tracks have hit No. 1: Mary MacGregor's 'Torn Between Two Lovers,' in 1977, and Phil Collins' 'Two Hearts,' in 1989. '3 AM,' matchbox 20The band's 1997 single hit No. 3 on Alternative Airplay. Similarly, Maluma's '11 PM' clocked a No. 11 peak on Hot Latin Songs in 2019. (Music director radio tip: Scheduling '3 AM' at 3 a.m. is a good way to perk up overnight air talent with something playful to talk about, and help keep them from falling asleep.) '25 or 6 to 4,' ChicagoIf you have to pick among peaking at Nos. 25, 6 or 4, 4 is the best, and that's how high this hit reached on the Hot 100 in 1970. While it never ranked at No. 25, it did rise 6 to 4. '7,' Prince and the New Power GenerationThe track reached a No. 7 peak on the Hot 100 in 1993. (On Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, it stopped at No. 61, but at least those numbers add up to 7.) '#9 Dream,' John LennonThe song hit No. 9 on the Hot 100 in 1975. It's the only one of the late legend's eight solo top 10s or the Beatles' 35 top 10s to have peaked at that rank. '21 Questions (Again),' DebrecaIn 2003, the track by the singer reached No. 42 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Maybe '21 Questions (Again)' would've peaked at No. 21 if she didn't add its subtitle? 'Eighteen With a Bullet,' Pete WingfieldPerhaps the best example of a song related to a trip up Billboard's rankings, the single was its title on the Nov. 22, 1975-dated Hot 100, climbing four spots to No. 18 with a '*' award, or bullet, reflecting its positive chart momentum. The song, which hit a No. 15 best the following week, has fun with several industry shoutouts. Wingfield sings in the doo-wop-flavored track, 'I'm high on the chart, I'm tipped for the top … but 'til I'm in your heart, I ain't never gonna stop!'
